Why we’re the gold standard in volunteering and interning abroad
We’ve been doing this since 1992, making us experts when it comes to volunteer trips and internships abroad.
The gold standard of staff supportSafety is everything to us and has been for three decades. We would never dream of contracting-out your safety to agents and third parties, as some do. Instead, we employ, thoroughly vet, and train all our own staff. Together, we provide a world-class support network to help you thrive.
Make a real impactWe don’t leave our positive impact up to chance. Every one of our projects is carefully planned and monitored, so we know we’re making the positive change we’re committed to.
Hassle-free approachWe take care of everything, so you don’t have to. Shopping around for insurance, organizing airport pickups, and finding safe, clean accommodation all takes time and extra money. We take care of it all for you, and it’s included in the price as standard.
Step out of your comfort zone, push your boundaries, and do something extraordinary. We’ll help you realize your full potential, broaden your horizons, and work towards a better world.
We run volunteer projects and internships across the globe where you help uplift communities, protect the planet, and develop your own skills. You’ll also connect with people, learn about different cultures, and explore the world around you. We’ve been doing this for over 25 years. So we know just how to ensure you make the most of your trip while feeling completely supported.
We can’t wait for you to discover what you’re capable of, join our global community, and contribute to our impact worldwide.
To provide the gold standard of support and safety, so our volunteers and interns can fulfill their potential, discover themselves and create positive change in the world.

“The Projects Abroad staff could not be a friendlier group of people, and in many respects, they made my time here as enjoyable as possible. Whenever I had any questions or concerns, they were always there to offer assistance, which always put me at ease.”
Jeffrey H,Medicine in Vietnam
